Semi private course in a gated community. You will need to print your tee time confirmation to gain access to the course. Course condition is good. Starter and staff were friendly. Can use a few more sign to direct players to the next hole. I have issues with the overall design of the course. A lot of unnecessary hazards. E.g. on a par 3 that requires precision on the tee, they put 2 small red stake water hazard on both short side of the green. The hazard is like a 3 foot areas that serve no real purposes except to piss you off. Lots of weird design on this course that didn’t feel like it’s properly design for playability but rather some 5 years old playing architect.

Very nice course! Malcolm was very helpful with helping setting up Tee time. Very clean course. Please be aware of the extended ball cleaners around the course. They tend to not return balls. They retained six of mine and I will be looking for some type of reimbursement 😅

Friendly staff. Forgiving fairways. Wide enough to keep the ball in play. Greens in great shape and roll true. Some great and unique holes. Water in play on about 1/3 of them. I'd play it again for sure. Love the scenery!

Fun course. Well kept and challenging hole placement on greens. Great scenery and some cool holes/tee boxes with water and other hazard use. Close to road and houses, but does not encroach on the game.
